I'd like to use ND filters with my 180-400 zoom. The 40.5 mm filter needs to fit into a drop-in lens holder which then must fit into the back of the lens. I know there are many 40.5 mm ND filters, BUT the ones I have tried are too thick (4/16"). The required ND filter must be no thicker than 3/16" in order to fit into the lens.

6, 10, and 16 stop filters would all be useful. Any suggestions would be most welcome. So far I've only been able to find an Aurora-Aperture PowerND ND64 40.5mm ND 1.8 Filter (6-Stop) from B&H. They claim it will fit; but I haven't received the filter yet so I can't confirm. Thank you.

Thank you for all the suggestions. For those of you who are in fact interested, the Lee Filter holder (150 series) fits perfectly into the 180-400 lens hood. It can be secured with gaffing tape to give a secure set-up. It works well and because the lens hood can be rotated, the CP filter can now also be used effectively.
